In [[Plato's Allegory of the cave]], Plato concerns himself with the perception and perspective of the individuals in the cave and the actual reality outside the cave. The allegory deals with the alienated perception of mankind. It also shows the subjectivity of human perception. The people in the cave don't see directly, but only an image of reality. The same goes for different people in our daily life, everyone takes the environment around them differently and interpretations vary, according to their own experience. A modern example of this is when interviewing whitnesses. The implicity statements in accidents for example can be widely different, every witness perceives the truth differently. Here, different descriptions of the course of the accident are often described. | In [[Plato's Allegory of the cave]], Plato concerns himself with the perception and perspective of the individuals in the cave and the actual reality outside the cave.
